Of course, the fact that the news of Wang Yu's victory was such a sensation was partly due to the Wang family's intention to spread the word, but the most important thing was his performance this time.
It is not that the Han army has never won foreign battles, but it has never won with such vigor and disparity in strength.
With more than a thousand soldiers of various sizes, he penetrated deep into the enemy's heartland and achieved many great victories. Not only that, after receiving three thousand reinforcements, Wang Yu dared to lead his army back to the enemy. With four thousand men and horses, he fought against nearly ten thousand cavalry, and was able to achieve great success.
Gain complete victory.
With such a record, if you look at how many Han men can achieve it, not even Gongsun Zan, the white horse general who has become famous recently.
After all, he was able to defeat the Xianbei and Wuhuan people many times, and he had the merit of his white-horse righteous followers, but Wang Yu was just a few county soldiers, some guards and other miscellaneous soldiers, plus three thousand people from the captain's mansion.
........
Youzhou!
"Okay, this Wang Yu is really a young hero. He dared to go deep into the enemy's territory with more than a thousand troops. He is really a role model for our generation."
Gongsun Zan, who was in the tent, seemed not to be stingy with his praise. After all, he had always hated foreigners with a passion, and Gongsun Zan naturally admired Wang Yu for defeating foreigners.
"This Wang Yu is indeed a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, but Brother Bogui is not willing to give in too much. This time he conquered Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju and defeated their army, Brother Bogui will definitely get the first credit.
Although Wang Yu has achieved great results, compared to his brothers, you are just a petty quarrel." A man next to Gongsun Zan praised him at the right time.
"Hahaha, Xuande has said it, he has said it!" Gongsun Zan laughed. Although he said this, the smile from the corners of his eyes naturally confirmed the words of the man he called Xuande.
.
The person who was called Xuande by Gongsun Zan was none other than the famous Empress Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and the people standing beside him were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
I saw Gongsun Zan say: "Brother Yu was able to defeat Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju this time only because of the help of brothers Xuande and Guan Zhang. After this battle is over, I will ask the imperial court for credit."
"In that case, I would like to express my gratitude to Brother Bogui for his recommendation."
Speaking of which, Liu Bei was also a hard worker. He fought hard all the way during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made many achievements, but in the end he didn't even get a single hair.
If Zhu Jun and others had not nominated Liu Bei, Liu Bei might not even be able to serve as a county captain in Anxi. However, he had only served as a county captain for a few days before he resigned because he was beaten after being whipped.
It is worth mentioning that in this world, it was Liu Bei who whipped the capital, which is consistent with the trend of history.
Liu Bei was so angry that he whipped the capital, so he had to resign, otherwise the court would not let them go. After resigning, Liu Bei really had nowhere to go, and in the end he had no choice but to seek refuge with his former friend Gongsun Zan who was stationed in the Liaodong vassal state.
There.
It can be said that Gongsun Zan's rise to fame in the past few years is due to the contributions of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Not only Youzhou, but also Yufuluo, who lived in Taiyuan, was also affected.
"Father, Shi Le is not invincible. This time he lost, and he lost at the hands of a young man." A young man next to Yuv Luo said.
"Yuan'er, what exactly do you want to say to your father?" Yuvluo asked in confusion.
This young man, whom Humphrey called Yuan'er, whispered a few words in his ear. Humphrey's pupils suddenly shrank, and after thinking about it again and again, he replied: "Let me think about it for a few days."
The young man nodded!
.......
At the same time, Taiyuan County.
As the base camp of the Wang family, the spread of Wang Yu's deeds is naturally much stronger here than in other places.
Inside Wang’s Restaurant!
"I didn't expect that Young Master Wang, who has always been weak and unskilled in martial arts, would be so courageous. He dared to lead those people deep into the enemy's territory and achieved great victories many times. I think even the original champion was just like this.
"A drinker said in a daze.
"Brother, you are exaggerating. It is true that Mr. Wang is powerful, but compared with the champion Hou Cheng, aren't you a bit..." The person at the same table hesitated to speak.
"How can it not be possible? The champion of that year was eighteen years old when he competed, while our prince was only seventeen years old when he competed. And they both defeated more with less. How come they can't compare in terms of age!"
There are countless conversations like this throughout Taiyuan County.
In the secret room of Bingzhou Mansion.
Ding Yuan looked at the victory report written in his hand, but his eyebrows became darker and darker, and his white face became more and more ugly, and was faintly red to black.
"I didn't expect that the Taiyuan Wang family would actually hide this trick." Ding Yuan threw the good news directly on the table and said angrily.
Ding Yuan came to Bingzhou this time, but he decided to show off his talents and leave his name for future generations!
But what Ding Yuan didn't expect was that the Wang family's position in Bingzhou was so deep-rooted. Wang Hua, the governor of the governor's office, was Wang Teng's younger brother, Wang Chong, the prefect of Yanmen, was his elder brother, and Wang Dian, the prefect of Taiyuan, was related to Wang Teng.
friendship.
Nowadays, the territory that Ding Yuan can truly control is the three counties of Shangdang County, Shang County, and Xihe. The other places are either the sphere of influence of foreign races or the sphere of influence of the Wang family. He, the governor of Bingzhou, has almost been ignored.
Just when Ding Yuan was angry, a report came from outside the secret room.
"Your Majesty, Wang Hua and Grand Administrator Wang Dian came to the Governor's Mansion and asked to see you for something!"
"The speed of these two guys is really not slow. They came so quickly!" Ding Yuan sneered and said calmly: "Forget it, it's a blessing or not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided, no matter what they are.
No matter what move someone makes, I, Ding Yuan, will be the next to do it."
It's just that Ding Yuan underestimated these two old foxes, Wang Dian and Wang Hua. With their methods and wisdom, how could Ding Yuan be his opponent?
As General Anbei and the governor of Bingzhou in the Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan should have sent troops to rescue the Huns as soon as possible when they invaded Taiyuan, but the result was not like this.
The protagonist of this scene is not only not Ding Yuan, but a boy under twenty.
How could these old foxes not understand the trick in this, but they all understood it tacitly, and they just beat Ding Yuan secretly, asking Ding Yuan to throw a trap, and strive to transfer the merits of this battle to Wang Yu's hands.
Wang Yu defeated the Xiongnu this time, penetrated thousands of miles into the enemy's territory, and even protected the safety of the people in Daling. How could he not be rewarded for such a contribution? If Wang Yu was from a humble background, forget it. At most, it would be a verbal reward. After giving
Just some money.
But Wang Yu comes from the Wang family in Taiyuan. With this background and his reliable record, he will definitely not be able to escape the position of prefect!
With this merit and the support of Wang Yun in the court, the Nanyang Prefect could no longer run away, and he might even be able to become a general.
In this way, under the pressure of Wang Dian, Wang Hua and the Wang family, Ding Yuan was forced to go to the court to tell Wang Yu's contribution.
